The Companies Winning in Today's Market Aren't Waiting for Lower Interest Rates
Published: July 9, 2026
Business acquisitions continue to take place in every market cycle.
While interest rates remain an important consideration, experienced buyers understand that successful acquisitions are built on preparation—not perfect timing.
At Alianza Partners, we work with entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners pursuing acquisitions through strategic planning, thoughtful transaction structuring, and capital readiness. Buyers who prepare their financing strategy before identifying a target business are often in a stronger position to negotiate, complete due diligence, and execute with confidence.
As our Managing Partner, Don McClain, often says:
"The best acquisitions are rarely won by the fastest buyer. They're won by the most prepared one."
Preparation includes understanding valuation, developing a financing strategy, evaluating transaction structures, and assembling the right advisory team before opportunities emerge.
